Description

This exhibition runs from Thursday 6th February 2025 to Friday 2nd May 2025.


Piano Nobile stages a unique exhibition about one of the most important artists and sculptors of the 20th century.

Barbara Hepworth: Strings brings together a significant group of Barbara Hepworth’s (1903–1975) string works, drawn from public and private collections, including sculptures as well as drawings and paintings that continue the string motif.

On the 50th anniversary of the artist’s death, the exhibition will include some works that have not been shown to the public for over half a century, as well as a sculpture that has never been exhibited before.

Spanning three decades of Hepworth’s career, the exhibition features stringed sculptures in a comprehensive range of materials and sizes from large-scale works in wood and brass to small-scale works in bronze. A selection of unique and rarely exhibited stringed sculptures will include Hepworth’s only stone carving with strings, a ‘hand sculpture’ as she referred to her smaller work, and monumental works in brass such as Winged Figure I, which is loaned by the University of Cumbria and displayed in London for the first time in a generation.

The exhibition is curated by Piano Nobile with Michael Regan and is accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication with contributions by Stephen Feeke and Eleanor Clayton.
